Carter drove towards the company. The black car had pulled out when he left the hospital and was currently following him. He dialed Flynn.
"Carter, twice in one day."
"Flynn, I have a problem."
Flynn sat up in the seat, he was riding in, and paid close attention. "Carter, what's wrong? Details...I am still 10 minutes away."
Carter switched lanes but the car continued to stay behind him.
"He's following me. I can't let them get the evidence I have."
"Tell me where you are right now. "
He motioned for his driver to speed up.
"I can meet you on the road. Carter, tell me... you're scaring me."
"Flynn, I am in Leo's black Mercedes. The car behind me is a black Audi, tag #36FH713. The man driving has on a black hat and shades. I can't shake him in traffic. I am heading towards the company but..."
Carter's voice cuts off and tires screech.
Flynn grows extremely concerned and begins shouting into the pho
Leo sat up in the bed while KK attempted to feed him. The morphine drip had been ceased after Leo climbed out of bed and ran down the hall, looking for KK who had gone to the bathroom. Leo didn't handle the morphine well and the Dr. decided to switch to a less powerful drug. So angry Leo was back and refusing to eat the hospital food. "Leo, you can't go home till you take a crap. You have to eat something for that to happen." Leo snarled as KK lifted the spoon to his mouth again. "You eat it, I'll wait for Carter." KK sighed and gave up, sliding backwards in his chair. "Whatever." The door opened and a tall, athletic man stepped inside. KK instantly was on guard but then he remembered Carter had told him some one was coming. "And you are?" The man walked over, bowing his head. "Carter should have told you I was coming. I am Flynn Cottrell." KK extended his hand and Flynn shook it. Leo watched the
A/N~ *coughs* Prepare yourself..;) R19+Leo stepped into his house, taking a deep breath. KK followed along with Carter and Flynn. Helping Leo to the couch, KK turned to Flynn."You said you wanted to talk to me?"Flynn nodded, sitting on a stool at the bar. While Carter took care of his boss, seeing to his needs, KK joined Flynn at the bar. Leo followed his crush with his eyes, even while Carter was trying to help him take his coat off.Standing with their backs to Leo, they discuss something in private. Leo glared because he couldn't hear the conversation. Seeing KK smile at Flynn twists his gut in a knot and he started to get up.Carter pushed him gently back down on the couch. "No. Stay here."Leo shifted his glare on Carter, groaning as his hand throbbed. Carter grabbed a bottle, pouring a pill into his hand, and holding it out to Leo. Leo frowned but took it.Flynn hands a business card to KK."I'm going to give you some quick training so that you can be prepared if something
KK followed Flynn into the gym as Carter struggled to get Leo from the car. The arm sling kept Leo from being able to move around quickly and thus chaos usually ensued. "Leo, stop. You're tangled in the seatbelt." Leo stood still while Carter untangled him and then dashes after KK, who is already inside the gym. Carter took a deep sigh, shaking his head. He had never seen his boss so whipped. He chuckled, closing the car door and following the threesome inside. Flynn handed KK a pair of gloves, leading him into the ring. Leo stood close by, nervous for KK. He didn't want to see that face bruised, he liked his face the way it was. The only other person Leo had ever been so protective over was Carter. 6 years ago, Leo had been out with clients near the local college. He walked around a corner and saw a gang of kids attempting to rape another boy. Leo grew furious and launched an attack on the gang members. He wound up with a buste
Leo walked outside, into the sun. He was prepared to do almost anything to find out what Mage and her father are up to.He saw her pull up, and motioned for her switch cars. Carter had planted a bug in his car, so that was the one she would drive.Mage got out of the car, walking around towards Leo. She wore an almost sheer beige skirt with a silk white blouse. It flowed and moved with her lithe body, making her look like a sleek animal on the prowl. Leo sized her up as she got near, he was already regretting this.Leo lifted his hand towards her, pulling her towards him as she slid her paw into his. She giggled, bouncing off his hard chest. Her free hand caressed his shoulder, her dark eyes searching his face for answers."Leo, have you missed me that much?"He smirked. leading her to the car, opening the driver's door and allowing her to slip inside. He closed the door and looked to the windows of the company.There was a small crowd gathered admiring the couple. The company would b
Leo scrunched Mage's skirt up, his fingers brushing her tanned bare skin. She gasps at the sensation, wrapping her hands around the steering wheel hard. "Leo, It's dangerous to tease me while I am driving." He smirked, pulling her skirt back down. "Maybe later then. You drive, I will do a little work." She smiled at him and together they drove in silence. The tension between the two extremely volatile. Back at Leo's house, KK growled vocally, stabbing the pencil into a pillow on the couch. He thought for sure this would get dangerous for Leo and wished he would play it a bit safer. He grumbled not having expected to hear what he had. KK saved a backup and continued to listen, whether or not he wanted to. At Carter's apartment, Flynn reached over Carter to grab a pile of photos. He looked at them carefully. Some of them were strangely shot. He tilted his head curiously and pulled out the photo of KK shaking
Leo sat in the car, thinking through his plan for the night. He knew she would insist on spending the night with him. She probably wanted to try and get pregnant, so he would have to marry her. He really hated how she had changed since first meeting her.Her father had been such a good friend of Leo's father when Leo was younger. He knew she was abused by her father, but he wasn't sure how much it had altered her recently.He looked over at Mage, smiling at her."What do you want to buy tonight?"She glanced at him as she stopped at a light. Her smile held a slight hint of greed."Anything you want to give me." She giggled. "I'm kidding. I really want a designer purse though, do you think that would be ok?"Leo nodded, reaching for her hand, which she readily supplied. "You can have anything you want tonight."Her eyes widened and she bit down on her lip.The light turned green and she pulled her hand away as she drove off the
KK stood against the wall of the house with his eyes closed. He hated the feelings that raged through his mind right now. His jealousy was beyond his control. Spinning, he slammed his fist against the wall, walked to his car and got inside.He sent a text to Carter:Going for a drive. Be back in 30.The tires spun as he peeled out of the driveway and down the road to take a breather and clear his aching heart so he could work on Leo's case. Inside he knew it was all an act. He didn't understand why those words hurt him so badly. It's not like they were in a relationship, or had even said they liked each other. He was confused, which in itself, infuriated him.Inside the house, Carter showed Flynn the text and shook his head. Flynn rubbed his lover's shoulder, as if telling him it would be alright."Things are going to get complicated."Carter and Flynn resumed listening in on Leo and Mage. Flynn hoped KK would be ok. He worried someone was out to get them, one by one, and hoped the
On the road, KK was finally calming down. He had run the idea over and over in his head that Leo was only pretending. It didn't matter anyway because there was nothing between him and Leo. It was all just wishful thinking. He had been thinking so hard and concentrating on calming down that he didn't realize he was being tailed. He started to head back to Leo's house.At the hotel, Mage and Leo walked towards the front desk, hand in hand. Checking in, Mage realized Leo had booked two rooms. This should have been her first warning sign that things were not going to go her way but instead, she thought he had done it so her father would think they wouldn't be together.Getting the room keys, they head to the third floor. Leo handed her a room key when they arrive at the doors. The rooms were across from each other."Leo, you are so smart. Two rooms will make my father more at ease. If anyone is watching, they will think we are sleeping in seperate rooms."He smirked, running his hand down
The sexual tension in the room was evident to the two men entering. They looked at each other , smirking as they walked farther into the room. Leo stepped back from the bed, his face turning a strange shade of pink.Carter was intrigued at this change in his boss. Leo's volatile temper made him hard to get along with. He didn't have many friends and always tried to make people fear him. It was Leo's way of maintaining control when people were trying to ruin his life.Kaden looked up at Flynn and Carter as they walked in. He immedietely noticed they were holding hands and smiled inwardly. He was really happy for them. He glanced at Leo, chewing on the inside of his lip. Could he be in love?Flynn looked serious as he sat down on a couch across the room. Carter shifted to KK's side, pulling his blanket up; his motherly side was showing. He checked, making sure the injured man was comfy, then went to sit down by his lover. They had serious things to discuss with Leo and KK.Leo arched a
Mr. Shoten sat in a room surrounded by members of the Board of Directors. They were there to discuss the Rapture project and it's implimentation. A secretary wandered into the room and stood beside the older man. She leaned down, whispering in his ear.A smile as wide as the Grand Canyon spread across his face as he nodded and looked to the BOD members. He stood, straightening his suit, puffing out his chest like a proud peacock."We have good news. Mr. Shin will be taking a break from work for the unforseable future. I wonder what could be so important that he would abandon his own company without anyone in charge."The men in the room began to chuckle, the visions of extra money in their pockets making them extremely excited. Mr. Shoten smirked evily as he glanced to a few key members of the BOD and winked. His plotting had gone his way for once.The room continued talking about the news for a while behind closed doors.Mage has no clue what has happened between her father and Leo.
At the hospital, Leo sat next to KK in the ICU. He looked at the tubes and machinery hooked up to the private detective. He thrust his head in his hands in anguish. He began talking but KK wasn't awake to hear him. "Kaden, why did you leave the house? You were safe there. I'm sorry you had to hear all the things I said to Mage. I didn't mean a word of it..." He sighed heavily, reaching for the younger man's hand. Caressing the back with his thumb, he continued. "Wake up, will ya? I need to talk to you. I..." He choked back the lump in his throat and wiped a tear as it slipped down his worried, exhausted face. "I need you to get better. I need..." The door opened and a doctor entered. Leo stood waiting for the results and condition of his beloved. His eyes wide, the doctor could see the pain on his face. He smiled reassuredly as he walked towards the patient. "I heard from the nurse, this is your boyfriend?" Leo nodded, looking at the still body of Kaden. The doctor smiled eve
A/N ;P (I wonder what this note could mean....this chapter will be a bit 'longer' than usual) >;P Flynn and Carter arrived at KK's PI office and noticed the door wide open. Pushing Carter behind him, Flynn pulled a pistol from under his shirt and aimed it towards the entrance of the room. Carter looked behind them, his hand holding the tail of Flynn's shirt. He wasn't cut out for this crap and what was happening terrified him. If it wasn't for Flynn, he would be cowering in a corner someplace. Flynn tapped the door open with his foot, stepping inside cautiously. He surveyed the room, taking note of the open window and the scattered files and papers on the floor. Seeing the room empty of people, he turned and flipped the light on. Carter closed the door behind them and stepped farther into the room. Carter sighed and started gathering the papers and files on the floor. He saw the phone smashed on the floor and had a momentary thought. 'Didn't the nurse give Leo a phone?' He look
Leo ran into the hospital and headed to the emergency room. Teams of doctors and nurses were dashing around. Apparently, KK wasn't the only one having a bad day. Leo darted around, searching for the bed Kaden was in. He began to panic when he couldn't find him. He ran up two flights of stairs to the inpatient floor and spotted Flynn and Carter sitting together on a bench near the operating arena. Carter noticed Leo first and jumped up to stop him from barging into the OR. Flynn made himself a barricade as well. "Leo, slow down." Leo stopped, staring at the closed doors and the sign lit up red above. A tear formed in his eye and he slowly looked to the two men standing next to him. He noticed the look of worry on their faces and the tears began to slip down his tired face. Carter couldn't take it. His boss was tough, not one to cry...ever. He wrapped his arms around his boss without thinking and held him as the sobs increased. He swallowed back his own tears, holding onto the no-
The upside-down Audi smashed against the pavement in front of an oncoming garbage truck. KK turned his head, looking across the passenger seat, in time to see the smoke from the brakes of the truck as it attempted to stop before striking him. He braced for impact, not feeling the injuries he had already suffered. The truck managed to stop enough, barely tapping the side of the crushed Audi and spinning it around in the center of the roadway. KK vomited from the dizzying sensation and the pain he was beginning to feel. As he hung upside down in the car, it came to a stop on its roof. He chuckled to himself as the first thing he thought of was Leo. It was a shame he would never get to see him again. He thought of Leo's scent and closed his eyes as the pain began to overtake his thoughts of the man he could have fallen in love with. Hot liquid drifted down into his face from his torso. He felt dizzy still, maybe it was because he was hanging upside d
Sitting in the back seat, Leo started thinking about Kaden. His thoughts drifted to the shower and the faces KK made while pleasuring himself. He couldn't wait for everything to calm down so he could spend time with the private detective. He smiled to himself, ran his hand down his rising member trying to calm it down. Closing his eyes, he drifted to sleep thinking of the man he had fallen completely for. KK drove around in a few circles to ensure the car was actually following him. So far, they kept their distance, but it was obvious they were stalking him. Arriving at his office, he raced upstairs, locking the door behind him. Taking some paper, he painted the image of the car with his mind. Better safe than sorry, if anything happened to him, there would be a record. The image of the car, license plate, and driver formed across the paper. Flipping it over, he wrote the time and date and what was happening. He laid the photo in an envelope with Flynn's name on it. Walking aroun
KK slipped the headphones off of his ears and walked out the front door. Everything, he heard tonight, would put Shoten, and possibly Mage, in jail for a long time. He knew Leo wanted to end this battle and continue on with his project.This project was very important to Leo. The Rapture was a computer system that would revolutionize the way social intercation online would evolve. It had features built in that would give the user the ability to have three transparent OLED screens expanded on one system and interface using the largest CPU available for work and or gaming.Standing outside, he thought about the things Mage had mentioned. She had said her father had things stored on his computer at home. He needed to find a way to hack in and get the information for Leo. There was no legal way to do this though. Having broken into the lawyer's computer had been enough breaking the law for him.His first thought was to somehow break into Shoten's home and get the information, but that was
"Leo, my father wants you to fail. He stole your project."He grasped her hand and patted it again. He looked surprised at the information when in fact he had known all along."What do you mean baby?"Mage began to pout. "Promise you won't be mad at me, Leo. I didn't want to hurt you. I swear I only did these things because he threatened to hurt you and Carter."Leo nodded, pulling her into a semi-hug. Running his hand over her hair, he consoled her."I know none of this is your fault, babe. Tell me everything. Start from the beginning. I won't hold anything against you. I said I would protect you."In a way, he meant that. If she was truely being manipulated by her father, he would help her. But if she helped him willingly, to tear down everything Leo had worked for, he would send her to prison right alongside Mr. Shoten.Mage nodded, beginning the story of her father's plan to take Pinnacle Electronics from Leo Shin. Her hand shivered in Leo's as she tried to keep from breaking dow
